24/7 Head and Spine Injury Services In Lahore:
Dr. Ammar Anwer presents services for Head and Spine injuries. Head and spine trauma refers to injuries or accidents that impact a person’s brain and/or spinal cord. Concussions of the brain are prevalent in youngsters, particularly when they participate in contact sports.
Extradural Hematoma:
Extradural hematoma is a kind of bleeding outside of the blood clot in the ‘potential’ area between the skull, and the outer protective coating that surrounds the brain is known as an extradural hematoma (the dura mater). It frequently happens as a result of a head injury. It’s a critical ailment that needs immediate medical attention.
Procedure:
The blood clot may dissolve (resorb) on its own. A significant intracranial extradural hematoma, on the other hand, almost always needs surgery. This entails removing the hematoma. Burr holes (tiny holes in the skull) or a craniotomy are frequent surgeries. Under general anesthesia, this operation produces an incision in the skull to extinguish a blood clot between the Head and the dura (the membrane that surrounds the brain).
Complications:
- Permanent coma due to a herniation of the brain
- Hydrocephalus of normal pressure
- Loss of feeling or paralysis
Time To Recover:
According to Dr. Ammar Anwer, an epidural hematoma will most likely take months, if not years, to heal. Initial improvements are expected during the first six months following an accident. Various things may be done at home to help in rehabilitation.
